Answer:
To find out how many pieces you will have, you need to divide the length of the board by the length of each piece.
The length of the board is 4 ft and the length of each piece is 1/3 ft.
Dividing 4 by 1/3 is equivalent to multiplying 4 by the reciprocal of 1/3, which is 3/1.
So, 4 ft ÷ 1/3 ft = 4 ft × 3/1 ft = 12 pieces.
Therefore, you will have 12 pieces when you cut the board into lengths of 1/3 ft.
